When Archie Cookson (Paul Rhys, "From Hell"), a washed-up British spy, mysteriously receives stolen secret tapes, he becomes the target of an assassination by senior MI6 officials. Archie survives the elimination of his departmental colleagues only to be confronted by longtime friend and ex-CIA "problem solver" Ennis Miller (Paul Ritter). Initially appearing to be Archie's salvation, Ennis is soon revealed to be a reluctant assassin hired to finish the job. In a gesture of friendship, Ennis grants a temporary stay of execution for Archie to reconcile his differences with his estranged family. As the grim reality of his situation begins to dawn on Archie, a chance encounter with an alluring young woman fires up the long-lost passion and restores the fighting spirit that Archie once possessed.
